A FEW OTHER SETTING NOTES:

• At the moment, this log spans the entirety of the New Year's Eve plot, so starters may be posted for any time on either day of the event. If things start getting massive and it looks like an overflow log will be necessary, we'll definitely see about putting one up, and will link it to this one if need be.

• The Event Itinerary can be found here! Remember that participating in this course of events is not mandatory, but it's what will be going on in the grand scheme of things over the course of the event.

• All event participants are being housed on the fourth and fifth floors of the hotel. Your bedrooms are laid out like this; if you participated in our IC Rooming Roulette, you can find your buddy on this table here!

• Most activities here will be free! ICly, your characters will use their room cards to "pay" for most things, and the charges will be applied to their room (which of course, they are not paying for personally). Gift shops, parts of the casino, and food not provided as part of the event are not chargeable to your rooms and characters will have to use their own money in those locations.

• Underage characters may use the casino; however, they may be subject to some social scrutiny and side-eyeing in the event that they attempt to get in on one of the high-roller tables.

A NOTE ABOUT USING THREADS ON THIS LOG FOR AC:

Because of how our AC period works (the grace week into January still counting toward December), all threads on this log are valid toward December's AC, regardless of timestamp! However, because the log technically spans two different months and we want to encourage tagging out on it, we have also made this decision:

On this log and this log alone, comment threads timestamped in January (OOCly) that reach AC-length may be used towards January's AC, as well. Therefore, if a thread on this log reaches AC length with 10+ comments timestamped in January, you can use it toward January's AC (assuming the same thread has not already been used to satisfy December's AC).

[ William will do the same, though the outfit he returns in is much the same as the one he was wearing previously. Can never have enough suits! ]

I hope I did not keep you waiting too long.

[ladywithnovoice]

[Red just gives a wave of her hand as she and her Gardevoir give relaxed smiles.]

::Not at all. I think you were quicker than I was, actually. So, was there anywhere in particular that you heard about?::

[death_glare]

[ William reaches into this inner coat pocket and retrieves a pamphlet that was given to him by one of the receptionists. He opens it up an reads off a few things. ]

I see there is a nice café on the upper level. As well as a spa resort of some kind. Apparently they treat Pokémon, as well.

[ He raises an eyebrow to that. ]

[ladywithnovoice]

[A pokemon spa... Well that sounds interesting. She taps her lower lip thoughtfully.]

Does it say if any Pokemon types are limited?

[death_glare]

Nothing is noted here. We can go and ask specifically.

[ William regards the Gardevoir at Red's feet before tucking the pamphlet back into his jacket. ]

It would be good to know. I'm sure Mercury here would enjoy the time, as well.

[ladywithnovoice]

::Then let's go.::

[Smiling, she starts to lead the way.]

::What kind of Pokemon is Mercury?::

[death_glare]

She is a Pidove.

[ He thinks for a moment. ]

I wonder if we are all given Pokémon that are suited to our needs. Much like you seem to have been.

[ladywithnovoice]

[At that, Red only shakes her head with a slight smile.]

I'm not sure about that. Help is a Pokemon I caught. When I first arrived here, I just had Luna, my Electrike at the time. It was storming as well, but I think that might have just been coincidence.

[death_glare]

Well, it is certainly good you caught them, then. I am enjoying speaking with you.

I hope I did not offend you.

[ladywithnovoice]

It's no problem. [She gives a wave of her hand.] People don't seem to be used to things like that here. I'm used to it.

[death_glare]

Though I don't believe I've ever been spoken to telepathically, you are certainly not the first person I've met to have no voice. Honestly, my profession forces me to interact with all sorts.

[ladywithnovoice]

What is it that you do?

[death_glare]

The reaping and assessment of souls that have passed.

[ladywithnovoice]

[...Well. That's sure a job.]

Where do they go afterwards?

[death_glare]

That is handled by an entirely different department. I have no say in the matter.

[ladywithnovoice]

I see... Oh, I hope you don't mind if I ask some questions. [She gives a sheepish smile as the elevator appears in sight.] It just sounds very interesting.

[death_glare]

[ William allows Red to step into the elevator first, before following and touching the correct floor button. ]

Of course not. Though, the job is less interesting and more of a headache, in my opinion.

[ladywithnovoice]

::Then why did you decide to take it up?::

[death_glare]

[ A small frown at that. ]

It wasn't my choice.

[ladywithnovoice]

::...Sorry if I brought up a difficult subject.::

[death_glare]

No. The question was just something I've never been asked before. Or contemplated.

Death Gods are simply that - Death Gods. Our purpose is simply, to reap souls.

[ladywithnovoice]

::I see... I suppose that is simpler, although I'm not sure how well I'd adapt to existing just for one job in particular. At least I got to choose what my profession was, even if people were a bit surprised.::

[death_glare]

Lucky I don't have you as one of my workers, then. I'd have to keep a constant eye on you.

[ He's teasing. Which, coming from William is extremely odd. Take it as a compliment - he's comfortable around you. ]

Do you mind if I ask what you profession was?

[ladywithnovoice]

::I was a singer.::

[She'll wait for the inevitable questions that brings.]

[death_glare]

I take it you weren't always without your voice, then?
